War in Ukraine

"This is not — and cannot be — legitimate business," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said as Kyiv works to stop the Kremlin funding its war effort.

The Druzhba pipeline has become one of the most politically charged pieces of infrastructure in Europe since a Russian drone strike damaged it.

The Kremlin's most intense attack of the year comes as Kyiv fears the Iran war is leaving it short of critical air defense munitions.

Russia and Ukraine both released 175 prisoners on Saturday, timed to the intended start of a ceasefire.

Putin’s announcement was similar to a 30-hour ceasefire he ordered last year. Each side accused the other of violating it.

Three women and two men were killed in the city of Nikopol, in an attack that damaged market stalls and a shop and wounded a 14-year-old girl, Ukrainian officials said.

“Putin really wants every Russian citizen to feel alone and rejected,” IT specialist Alexander Isavnin told NBC News. He was among those who tried — and failed — to get approval for rare public protests over the weekend as an internet blackout fuels frustration.

The Kremlin's latest push to alter a largely static front line in Ukraine has come at a steep human cost.

Ukraine's president told NBC News it would be a "mistake" if the U.S. diverted Ukraine-bound missile interceptor shipments to Gulf countries.

Ukraine intensified drone attacks on Russia’s oil and fuel export infrastructure this month, hitting all three of its major western oil export ports.

More than a dozen people were reported injured in the historic city in western Ukraine.
